BTW, I cannot guarantee that the results of either of those methods will be pretty. If I had to guess, I'd guess that the first method, getting a new video card for your computer, would provide video that looked better, with less noise in it. Also I'm guessing that the video card method will be cheaper too.

I mean that's assuming you have a bus slot in which to put a new video card. If your computer is a laptop, then you know, you don't really have that option.

I suppose I have to ask why you want to use that 3.5 inch toy as a monitor anyway? Is this for a car-computer, or something like that?

I have never seen that box before in my life, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've usually had pretty OK luck with the no-name, Guangdong, Chinese electronics shipped out of Hong Kong via some random seller on eBay.

I actually looked at the listing, and I think at 20 FUSD (and free shipping!) it is worth the risk. If you live in the Former U.S. like I do, you should have ordered it like three weeks ago, because it typically takes that long to get here. ;-)

I just found something. A blurb I found here: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/vidconv.htm#nvcvgtc describes how to do this with just a few resistors, except that you don't get color. Also you have to some tweaking to the video driver to get it send the lines at just the right frequencies (horizontal and vertical).

I still stand by my previous statement about the resulting picture, however you get it, about it maybe not being pretty.
